Question about the Recycle Bin

I am really glad a friend turned me on to this great program. Thanks. I have a question. When there are items in the Recycle Bin and the CCleaner Program is run, the Recycle Bin is emptied. Of course this question applies when I do not have the "Wipe Free Space" option checked. Are the items emptied from the Recycle Bin deleted in the same secure fashion as the part you have checked, for example 3 passes, DOD, or do they simply go into free space and then only get securely deleted when the wipe free space option is executed??????????? Thanks in advance. Bill

Hi bill, and welcome to the forum.

Whichever Secure Delete setting you choose is carried through all of CCleaners chosen locations.

Mind you, using more than the "Simple Overwrite One Pass" secure delete is probably a waste of time. It's always a debatable point, but most evidence comes down on the side of the multi-pass being a "waste of time" school of thought.
